Yes, the Big scary GutenMonster, or Creative space saving Angelic being. What do the experienced WP dev types here think it will mean to Themes , Templates (since PG has a WHOLE bunch WP functionality (that I still haven’t got to grips with successfully) and the Future of WP as it is under the lead of beneficial Dictator Matt Mullenweg… oh sorry, I mean…er… the _community_ … apparently. _cough_ Also, as well as that what do you think of other Alternatives? both old and new knee jerk reaction ones such as Classic Press? > **[ClassicPress – The business-focused CMS. Powerful. Versatile. Predictable....](https://www.classicpress.net/)** > > The business-focused CMS. Powerful. Versatile. Predictable. (without Gutenberg) Will they save it do you think or die out , or this is all just a little storm in a tea cup? IS it worth going with ClassicPress, Or is Gutenberg a damned fine development for NEW SITES NOT… retrofitting it and annihilating old sites. Ok bed for me now, lets see who thinks what about this and PineGrow Devs… does this really MATTER? To the way PineGrow works? or is it a total Head ache for you guys? And Pinegrow’s WP Functionality? Ive been pondering this for some time and been waiting to see the discussion on here but weirdly it hasn’t happened. SO! Now it is 🙂 Gnight! ---

@schpengle you don’t have to use Gutenburg, you can choose to stick with the default editor. Here’s a nice write up about how to do it. [Disable Gutenburg and use Classic Editor.](https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-disable-gutenberg-and-keep-the-classic-editor-in-wordpress/) ---

What I had to say was perfectly valid added value to the conversation and was said best in less than 20 characters. Please don’t answer this question, it’s really for the person who decided this would be a good idea and also just so my post would be long enough]
